Deathly Hallows Part 2 - Hopes & Aspirations

What are your hopes & aspirations for the second part, knowing what you know about first movie? Are there any scenes which could perhaps be sacrificed or do they need to add more to clarify certain elements of the story?

I would like to see Harry and Voldemort walking around each other in a circle. It's toward the end of the book, when Harry casts off the invisibility cloak. Voldemort is poised to strike, like a snake, and Harry justs keeps talking, like he is taunting him, he calls Voldemort, Tom. I also wonder if Peeves will show up to sing his little song. that was funny.

I'm most looking forward to 'The Forest Again' and I really really really hope that Daniel is able to pull off the emotions that Harry had in this scene. I hope I'm not disappointed because it was my favorite scene in the last half of the book.

I really hope the trip to Ravenclaw Tower is cut.
I don't want to see Harry cast the Crucio at Carrow.
I hope Luna has a picture of the Diadem and Ginny recognises it and tells Harry about it being in the RoR.
I hope Cho's part is cut as I do not want to see her again!
I also hope there are no Harry/Hermione or Harry/Luna or Harry/Any girl but Ginny bonding scenes!

I thinking, knowing where the split, whether I liked the chapters of DH1 better than DH2 or not. I think I liked the Ministry, Malfoy Manor, Xeno better than I did Gringotts. I love Prince's Tale and Forest Again (even though I still suspect the former being very brief) but not King's Crossing (which I don't think will be shown much). Not sure about the BIG battle though but I guess we already know that the duel will be greatly expanded. I guess it's about equal, some I like in both, some I don't.

I'm really looking forward to the added "Why do you live?" scene. I'm glad they've extended the final battle between Harry and Voldemort, it was to short in the book for me personally (although I understand why ). I'm really curious to find out how Harry escapes lol.

I just hope that they make the battle amazing. Also I want to see characters that we haven't seen since the first movie come back and make an apperance in the last movie. I just want the battle to be perfect.

I'm really wondering what the last few shots will be exactly. Will we perhaps see Rose and Albus on the Hogwarts Express? Or will it follow the book exactly and be a closeup on Harry's upper body as he waves goodbye to his secondborn son?

Well i haven't read the books, but according to what everyone else here says (and looking at the names of the chapters) I expect a huge battle of wizards/witches with the return of some old friends . The part of Molly and Bellatrix also sounds very interesting, does she threaten her? O.o

Much, much, more. It's one of the most epic moments in the series and I know Julie Walters' performance could make all the audiences cheer. I usually welcome any changes made to the films but I just hope that this part will be kept exactly as it is in the book. And also any other parts with McGonagall kicking Death Eaters' butts.

My ideal film ending: we see Harry waving goodbye to his son (a shot of Albus waving from the train, similar to Harry at the end of the first film). Then we see a shot with the back of trio (and Ginny) standing together on the platform with golden sunlight. Then the we cut to the Hogwarts Express moving across the beautiful countryside. Then a shot of Albus looking outside the train window, smiling in excitement at something we can't see yet, then the camera sweeps away from the train, flies across the lake and reveals the castle (same angle as the boat scene in the first film), fully reconstructed after the war. Fade to black.
